Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts arrested by ICE, district says
(www.desmoinesregister.com)
It's starting
It started almost a year ago.
Yes but the next and final phase of it is starting now
This ever so slightly masks the truth. The horror didn't begin now. imho, this is instead clearly the moment our normality finally shows its violence
I assume he told them no, GTFO when they wanted to arrest foreign-born children at school
If only there was a way to know....
Oh, weird, I clicked on the headline and a bunch more text showed up,
Ian Roberts was arrested by U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement for allegedly being in the United States illegally
“You know it’s the Black and Brown kids who are worried," she said. "If it’s Ian Roberts who’s in trouble, what does that mean for them?”
Maybe they could have a peaceful protest and sing songs. Oh oh oh maybe they can vote in the midterms… as long as whomever is running meets 100% of their requirements.
Oh oh oh maybe they can vote in the midterms…
Questioning the value of voting is the first sign that you've been mind controlled by an evil foreign government.
If you're in line to vote, stay in line!
I vote no matter what. Even if I think the system is rigged. Because there’s a chance I’m wrong. Even if I don’t like the options.

"This suspect was arrested in possession of a loaded weapon in a vehicle provided by Des Moines Public Schools after fleeing federal law enforcement. This should be a wake-up call for our communities to the great work that our officers are doing every day to remove public safety threats. How this illegal alien was hired without work authorization, a final order of removal, and a prior weapons charge is beyond comprehension and should alarm the parents of that school district."
Having a handgun is not illegal in Iowa. No permit is required for concealed or open carry.
The part about work authorization is a lie. This employee completed the I9 process. They were working legally in the US at the start of their employment, and there's no evidence to suggest that changed.
and was allegedly in possession of a loaded handgun, a large amount of cash and a hunting knife
So, what we know for sure is that he was not in possession of a loaded handgun, any cash, or a hunting knife.
And even if he was so fucking what it's Iowa, sure it's atypical he wasn't broke but still
ICE detentions have no factor of "why". Accountability is not their strong point.
